following resolutions your own?

1. As a foundation to all others, I solemnly consecrate myself, soul
and body, to God in an everlasting covenant.

2. I will prayerfully endeavor to keep my heart in sympathy with the
great principles and duties above unfolded.

3. I will make the benevolence of Jesus Christ, in its spirit and
design, the pattern of my own, constantly carrying about the conviction,
that I must practise great self-denial, and make continued sacrifices in
imitation of my dying Lord.

4. I will make unremitting war on the selfishness of my heart, knowing
it to be the worst of evils; and fully purposing that it shall never
influence my decision, either in regard to a general scheme, or a
particular act, of beneficence.

5. I will thoroughly and candidly consider the spiritual destitutions
of our country and the world; the peculiar mission of the church in the
present age; and manfully, and with a whole heart, make the
renunciations thereby demanded.

6. I will regard my health, strength, life, and property, as valuable
only as instruments of advancing the kingdom of Christ; and therefore
hold them all without reserve at the call of God.

7. I will seize every opportunity for doing good by example, by
conversation, by labor, and by contribution.
